Letter: ACA implementation exposes Obama's lies

Obama’s lies are coming home to roost. The funding mechanism built into Obamacare legislation isn’t enough to do all we were promised. Even with all fees, taxes and penalties hidden within the thousands of unread pages, the administration is now asking for more taxes to cover costs that are now estimated to be at least six times more than was promised.

We don’t get to keep our doctor or insurance policy. Doctors are leaving the profession rather than be reimbursed at below cost levels. New mandates are not only forcing insurance companies to increase premiums, but employers are cutting back hours to avoid the 30-hour trigger point. We were promised that nothing would come between us and our doctor, but the end result of a panel of government appointed individuals who have power to deny prescribed medical treatment is interference and tantamount to a death panel.

If the ACA is good enough for us, it is good enough for all government employees, members of Congress, every state and union. If members of Congress are going to get subsidies, give us the same subsidies. If some employers get postponement of implementation for a year, give all of us the same option. To defund Obamacare means you get what you asked for, the $999,999,999 million promised, and not a penny more. If that won’t work, or isn’t enough, put this whole thing on hold until it can be a national debate, with full transparency, instead of behind closed doors with freebies to congressmen and states in exchange for their support.

Listen to the people. We don’t want this. There are better ways to fix both our health care delivery and insurance system.
